Evaluation of Traffic Crash Characteristics on Elevated Sections of Interstates in Louisiana
The primary objective of this project is two-fold: first, to fully develop a video analytical software to classify and count vehicle stream and have the capability of calculating vehicle speeds and/or headways; and secondly, to undertake crash analysis on selected elevated segments to look for characteristics of crashes, common issues, and similarities/differences in car and truck crashes.
